Hi vivien
There were actually quite a few Abrahams about. I found this one using Jill Rose's excellent names from clwyd site (www.namesfromclwyd.org.uk).
Wrexham Baptisms Aug 30, 1806 (born Aug 7th) Barbra ABRAHAM, d/o William (miner) & Mary, Esclusham Above

Hi Vivienne I have an Abra Abrahams in my family tree Married circa 1860 but no other detail other than she married a James Absalom. Barbara would have been an unusual name in this part of Wales in those days. Hen Locsin

Have a look at Wern baptisms and burials, find it on Parish Records Online from the homepage. There are loads of Abrahams , posslbly they could be Barbara`s siblings. She is there as well , with Richard as her husband. OR maybe you already have seen this
